سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ الثَّيِّبَ الَّتِي قَدْ تَزَوَّجَتْ زَوْجاً غَيْرَهُ فَزَعَمَتْ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْرَبْهَا مُنْذُ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَإِنَّ الْقَوْلَ فِي ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ الرَّجُلِ وَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَحْلِفَ بِاللَّهِ لَقَدْ جَامَعَهَا لِأَنَّهَا الْمُدَّعِيَةُ قَالَ فَإِنْ تَزَوَّجَهَا وَ هِيَ بِكْرٌ فَزَعَمَتْ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَصِلْ إِلَيْهَا فَإِنَّ مِثْلَ هَذَا يَعْرِفُ النِّسَاءُ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا مَنْ يُوثَقُ بِهِ مِنْهُنَّ فَإِذَا ذَكَرَتْ أَنَّهَا عَذْرَاءُ فَعَلَى الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يُؤَجِّلَهُ سَنَةً فَإِنْ وَصَلَ إِلَيْهَا وَ إِلَّا فَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ أُعْطِيَتْ نِصْفَ الصَّدَاقِ وَ لَا عِدَّةَ عَلَيْهَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad altogether, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Abu Hamza who said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘When the man marries the divorced/widowed woman who had married a husband other than him, so she alleges that he did not come near her since she had copulated beforehand. So the (final) word regarding that would be the word of the man, and upon him is that he swears an oath by Allah<sup>azwj</sup> that he has copulated with her, because she is the plaintiff’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So if he had married her and she was a virgin, and she claims that he has not arrived to her, so in an situation like this are the good women, so let her be examined by the one who is reliable with it from them. So when she mentions that she is (still) a virgin, so it is upon the Imam<sup>asws</sup> that he respites her for a year. So if he arrives to her, or else there would be a separation between the two, and she would be given half the dower, and there would be no waiting period upon her’.
